Abstract
Beginning with Henry VIII's little study, the architectural history of the private library is examined. In the eighteenth century, the library often appears as a counterpoint to the chapel, a more popular choice than awarding a central position to the library, though the latter is found in a number of instances. The influence of Gothic commences in the eighteenth century. Library rooms become more sociable and are often used to display portraits and sculpture. In Victorian times, the library was often a family living room.
